RSV Motorsport struggled with a variety of problems over the weekend

Costa del Sol based team RSV Motorsport had a tough weekend with its BMW 320 E90 during the meeting of the Spanish GT Championship, held at the circuit of Motorland Aragón last weekend. Ronald Severin and Ni Amorim finished a good 10th and 12th positions in teh two races despite the technical problems on Sunday.The drivers did a great job during qualifying withNi Amorim showing his talent. The Portuguese driver qualified the BMW 3 8º Series quickest in its class 2'17.732 after fighting against the Seat León Supercopa.

The problems came during the first race on Sunday. Ronald Severin completed his first competitive stint of the weekend with an exciting battle against a rival Nissan car. After that, Severin gave his partner the wheel, but Amorim had some electrical problems during the penultimate
lap. The steering broke, but Ni made a great effort to reach the chequered flag in the 10th position among the D4 division.

The second race was not easy either. Ni Amorim’s 320 was making good progress from eighth to sixth until problems forced him to pit early for repairs that took three laps. This made it impossible to get a good result, and Ronald Severin used his his stint as a test. He finished in 12th in class position gathered some valuable kilometres.

The next meeting takes place on September 25 and 26, when the Spanish GT Championship visits the new circuit of Los Arcos, in Navarra.
